Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever are off to a 2-2 start to the 2025 WNBA season and they carry lofty expectations of being a title contender after a busy offseason building around the reigning Rookie of the Year.

Since Clark entered the league, she’s been more than just a promising rookie, she’s been a ratings magnet. The Fever are averaging 16,757 fans per home game this season, by far the best in the WNBA and nearly double the next closest team. Her presence has driven the Fever’s average attendance to nearly three times what they drew in 2023.

The Indiana Fever announced some bad news on Monday, as Caitlin Clark will be out for at least two weeks with a strained left quadriceps muscle. The reigning WNBA Rookie of the Year has gotten off to a good start to her second season, averaging 19.0 points, 6.0 rebounds, 9.3 assists, 1.3 steals, 1.0 blocks and 2.8 three-pointers in 34.9 minutes.
